Maybe the firm is just hoping to expand its customer base to include people who imagine they're menstruating. Or perhaps it's to accommodate all the female-to-male transitioners written about by Abigail Shrier who can now be considered "people" after identifying as male.

She comes across as a deeply caring person with a huge heart. She has been treated very badly by the superficially obsessed media.
